Oklahoma's 27-21 triumph over Iowa State in the Big 12 championship game marked the Sooners' FBS-leading 50th conference title. Nebraska ranks second among all FBS programs with 46 conference titles. But this is the first Oklahoma team to win a conference title after starting out 0-2 in league play. The Sooners have won seven straight since falling to Kansas Stat and Iowa State early in the season. Clemson and Oklahoma are the first teams in any active conference to win six consecutive league titles outright. Oklahoma won 12 straight outright league titles from 1948-59 in the Big Eight, which no longer exists. - AP College Football

Spencer Rattler threw a 45-yard touchdown to Marvin Mims and also ran for a score as No. 12 Oklahoma won its sixth consecutive Big 12 title, holding on to beat No. 8 Iowa State 27-21 in the conference championship game Saturday. That impressive title streak probably won't be enough to get the Sooners (8-2, No. 10 CFP) back in the College Football Playoff for the fourth year in a row, even when paired with their seven-game winning streak. Oklahoma lost at Iowa State on Oct. 3 and was 0-2 in Big 12 play for the first time since 1998.

Big 12 rushing leader Breece Hall ran for two touchdowns for the Cyclones (8-3, No. 6 CFP) in the second half, when Oklahoma punted on its first five drives before Gabe Brkic's 32-yard field goal with 2:01 left. The Sooners finally clinched the game when Iowa State quarterback Brock Purdy was under pressure and threw his third interception, a fluttering pass picked off by Tre Brown inside the 10. The Sooners will play in a New Year's Six game, probably back at AT&T Stadium, after winning their fourth Big 12 championship in a row since the title game was reinstated - with four different starting quarterbacks. Rattler, who finished 22-of-34 passing for 272 yards and his 25th TD, is the first of those QBs who went to Oklahoma as a freshman instead of transferring into the program. - AP College Football

12/10/20 - Shi Smith, rSr/2021, South Carolina, 5-10, 186 (DS#31 WR) + More +

South Carolina wide receiver Shi Smith made his plans somewhat clear when he walked on senior day. Then his coach, Mike Bobo, shared his plans publicly. And Tuesday night, the Gamecocks senior said his goodbye. The Union County product could have come back for one season, owing to the NCAA's altered rule during the Coronavirus pandemic. But after four years in Columbia, Smith is moving on and declaring for the NFL draft. Smith worked his way back from a concussion to play his final college game on Saturday. He finished his career with 174 catches, 2,204 yards and 13 touchdowns. As a senior he often carried South Carolina's passing game, catching 57 passes for 633 yards and four scores. - Rock Hill Herald

South Carolina linebacker Ernest Jones is declaring for the NFL draft. The 6-foot-2, 230-pound junior from Waycross, Georgia has led the Gamecocks in tackles the last two seasons. He announced on social media Tuesday he was leaving South Carolina to enter the NFL draft. Jones is the third defensive starter in the past few weeks to move on to the NFL. Defensive backs Jaycee Horn and Israel Mukuamu both opted out of the final three games of the season after coach Will Muschamp was let go last month. South Carolina wrapped up its season with six straight defeats to finish 2-8. Jones had a team-high 97 tackles in 2019 and followed that up with 86 stops this season. - AP College Football

Shane Beamer is returning to South Carolina, this time as head football coach. A source close to the search told The Associated Press on Saturday night that Beamer will be hired and take over the program run the past five seasons by Will Muschamp. Muschamp was let go last month with three games remaining in the season. The person spoke to the AP on the condition of anonymity because South Carolina has not yet made the hire officials. Beamer is the son of former Virginia Tech coach Frank Beamer and served on the Gamecocks' staff from 2007-2010 under former coach Steve Spurrier. The younger Beamer has spent the past three seasons as assistant head coach and tight ends coach at Oklahoma. South Carolina finished a dismal 2-8 season with a 41-18 loss at Kentucky, the Gamecocks' sixth straight defeat. - AP College Football

12/05/20 - *Kevin Harris, Jr/2022, South Carolina, 5-10, 222 (DS#41 RB) + More +

Harris, a 5-foot-10, 225-pound running back out of Hinesville, Ga., might not be South Carolina's best NFL prospect, but he has been the team's most consistent all-around player. The sophomore has carried the football 164 times for 928 yards and 14 touchdowns for the Gamecocks, who are 2-7. He's averaging 5.7 yards per carry. Harris rushed for an eye-popping 243 yards and five touchdowns on 25 carries against Ole Miss. He ran for 126 yards at LSU, 171 yards at Vanderbilt and 100 at Florida. He's also caught 20 passes for 142 yards and another score.

"With Harris," said UK Coach Mark Stoops this week, "he's one of the top two-three-four backs in this conference and you know that is saying a lot. He is hard to get down. He runs exceptionally hard. They do a really good job blocking. I really respect the way they put a hat on a hat and run very physical. They block physically and he runs tough as well." Harris is 72 yards shy of becoming the ninth player in school history to rush for 1,000 yards. And he will have done it in 10 games. "I think it's a goal that is on our kids' minds, and not just Kevin," South Carolina interim head coach Mike Bobo said. "It's something that the offense takes pride in, especially the offensive line and the running backs. They know how close he is and what he's meant to this football team, offensively in the run game and the pass game." - Herald Leader

Harris is 72 yards away from reaching 1,000 for the season, something only eight other running backs in program history have done. He knows how close he is and how likely it is he'll be given numerous chances on Saturday as the Gamecocks finish the regular season at Kentucky. "Him getting 1,000, I think it's important to our guys, especially our offensive line and tight ends. They know where he's at," interim head coach Mike Bobo said. "He's into it, he'd rather us be winning ballgames, but we all know he's close to getting 1,000 and to do that in a 10-game schedule against all-SEC opponents, I think that'd be something meaningful that these guys can hang their hats on moving forward."

Harris would be the ninth Gamecock to rush for 1,000 yards in a season, something that has happened just 11 times (George Rogers, the school's greatest running back, thrice did it). But none of the others did it in only 10 games. Or against an all-SEC schedule. "That's one heck of a milestone, especially for a guy like Kevin, who's had a great year and is going to have a great game for us on Saturday," quarterback Luke Doty said. "We finish out, and get a win, and get him to 1,000 yards, that'd be awesome." - The Post and Courier

12/02/20 - Shi Smith, rSr/2021, South Carolina, 5-10, 186 (DS#31 WR) + More +

All South Carolina football seniors have the choice: Stay or go. The NCAA's COVID-19 ruling from the summer means every player gets an extra year of eligibility, leaving many seniors with the choice. Some gave a hint at what they're doing Saturday, choosing to walk in the senior day ceremony. But interim coach Mike Bobo gave a little more clarity on a pair of players who have started games and played prominent roles this season. No decisions are fully locked in, but players have hinted where they're leaning, notably No. 1 receiver Shi Smith.

"He's told me that he is moving on," Bobo said. "But things can change. You never know, who gets hired and what they're going to do, but I think his plans are to move on." Smith is in concussion protocol at the moment, and it remains to be seen if he'll be able to play this coming Saturday in the season finale at Kentucky. This season, he blossomed to become the top - and sometimes seemingly only - option in the receiver group. - Rock Hill Herald
